[Veritas-bu] Frozen media
2001-05-29 16:26:31
The first time I ran the media summary report I found 100's of frozen
tapes. I went through and unfroze all tapes that were expired. I than
created a script to check for frozen tapes daily and then it would run the
bperror report for media. This report would identify why any new tapes
were being frozen. I discovered that some media servers DIDN'T have the
ALLOW MEDIA OVERWRITE for tar files in the bp.conf file. I updated my
bp.conf and unfroze all the other tapes. Now the only frozen tapes I see
are from 3 write attempts that failed, which are very few now.
